Michigan State and Michigan Quarterbacks Hosted a Camp Together and Put Their Rivalry to the Side

“I'm gonna be real. Honestly, it's kind of weird, just because we are rivals and we all know how things play out outside of this," Chiles said according to the Detroit Free Press. "But other than that, it's just coming together for the community, just being better people and trying to make better quarterbacks, better futures.”

Both young quarterbacks appreciated the camp to give back to the youth in their community. Chiles and Underwood made it known, though, that their own paths to success stay relevant in their minds regardless of where they are or what they're doing.

"I'm very competitive with myself, so I just want to see how far I can go," Underwood said according to MLive.com.

While not best friends, the two are familiar with each other from training with Dooley. After transferring from Oregon State, Chiles started working with Dooley and found that his mentality with the game has improved drastically.

He didn't have a star performance and has a lot to prove to himself, his team, his coaches, and the general public heading into 2025-26. Working with Dooley helped him stay focused on his goals and not let the outside noise interfere or derail his progress.

Over the spring and start of summer, Chiles' improvements have been noticeable to head coach Jonathan Smith, who he's spent a lot of time with watching film. With Dooley, the rising junior continues to refine his technique.

"Just making sure that everything's polished, so that I can go into the season and be ready, make all the throws I need to make, as simple as that," Chiles said.

Underwood is heading into his freshman year with the Wolverines. The two rival quarterbacks will face each other on the NCAA field for the first time on Saturday, Oct. 25.
